Teacher’s Day tomorrow 5th September

Friends, the ‘World Teacher’s Day ‘ is celebrated across the world on October 5th, with great verve and enthusiasm. Ever since the importance of teachers has been recognized by UNESCO, by adopting the “Recommendation concerning the status of teachers”, World Teacher’s Day has been celebrated annually. This includes celebrations to honor the teachers for their special contribution in a particular field area or the community in general. For us, in India, It is the birthday [5 September 1888 ],of the second President of India, academic philosopher Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. It is considered a "celebration" day, where teachers and students report to school as usual but the usual activities and classes are replaced by activities of celebration, thanks and remembrance. At some schools on this day, the responsibility of teaching is taken up by the senior students to show appreciation for their teachers. I retired on 30th April 2006, after teaching for long 44 years. Just now I received an invitation from the present principal and secretary of the ‘Governing-Body’ of the college from where I retired as Principal, to come to that college for felicitation. I am really excited. In fact I have taught in this college for about 12 years, in two terms. Hence this honor. I will also meet some of my teachers, who are still alive by the grace of the Almighty, touch their feet, and seek their blessings. I am Professor due to their blessings only. I know ‘Teachers Day’ is observed in different countries on different days. So what about your place, how you observe it? Please share. Professor
